// Placeholders can now contain order information, e.g. instead of

// You do not need this where single placeholders are used, e.g. 'Message %d' is fine

// Some characters you may want to copy&paste:
// ’ » “ ” …

But i didn't understand why we altered "Similar Topics" setting

Because I used that and another extension's files as a skeleton for another extension I was working on, which I used to make this one. Some things got missed it seems, lol. Also, it's still in dev, evidenced by how I handled the template in the installation instructions..

[KaileyT]

Installation/notes: Due to the limitations of events, and the nature of this extension, I cannot simply set a div to display: none and call it a day, information needs to be deleted. The quickest way to do that is to throw an {% if %} around what I don't like, as I haven't found another alternative, except figuring out how to access all the template variables in the block I need to cancel out and nulling them.

[snip]

So if you want to test this extension (it's in dev), do this:
1) Open your viewtopic_body.html
2) Find <!-- EVENT viewtopic_body_postrow_custom_fields_before -->
3) Add

Code: Select all

{% if !F_ANONPOST && !postrow.IS_ANONYMOUS || (postrow.IS_ANONYMOUS &&  marttiphpbb_grouptempvars.4) || (postrow.IS_ANONYMOUS &&  marttiphpbb_grouptempvars.5) %}

on the line before it

4) Find <!-- EVENT viewtopic_body_contact_fields_after -->
5) Add

Code: Select all

{% endif %}

on the line after it

You could use jxtools to insert your template code. There's an example here. The whole topic, however, is well worth a read.

I saw something about that but I didn't look into it. I'm not familiar with jxtools. Will it still work as intended if javascript is disabled? I don't want user's information being leaked simply because of that. If it can't, then I wouldn't really feel it's a complete solution.

I haven't looked at it from that angle. I do know Javier put out some quality code, however it may be best to read it over if you understand it. It's been used in at least one extension that I know of.

Just tested it out. It works great, but not with javascript disabled. So unfortunately I'm going to have to find another solution in this case. Thanks for getting me to try it though.

Updated to version 0.2.0, OP updated with additional pictures.

Quotes, viewforum topicrow, and notifications now supported. Code reorganized. Helper class made. Removed bad config from migration. Removed old language entry.

Uses custom event made in functions_posting.php lines (my version) 2285 - 2296, I will make the pull request later.

[KaileyT]

Not a huge deal, but per the Coding Guidelines you are missing new lines at the end of your files.

Newline at end of file
All files should end in a newline so the last line does not appear as modified in diffs, when a line is appended to the file.

Major update 0.3.0

-language support added in the listener
-turkish added (I made another variable, please confirm that it's the right translation)
-viewforum forumrow support added
-search (including active topics) support added, for topicrow and postrow searches
-fixed a bug where editing anonymous posts made them disappear
-other minor fixes and code organization

known bugs:
-users dont receive notifications if your their is anonymous, such as someone quoting their anonymous post
-anonymous usernames clickable in some areas (search, quotes). kind of ugly, considering the concept

Newline at end of file
All files should end in a newline so the last line does not appear as modified in diffs, when a line is appended to the file.

This has also been fixed.

Download link is for version 0.1.0

Thanks, link updated.

I added a new variable, I don't know turkish but it doesn't seem like you were declining any of them, so let me know if I'm right.

yes, you are right.

[Toxyy]

Glad to hear it.

Minor update 0.3.5

-fixed poster_id equaling 0 when editing topics, causing an sql error when trying to access it
-fixed version check not working in acp
-dev --> alpha

known bugs:
-users dont receive notifications if your their is anonymous, such as someone quoting their anonymous post
-anonymous usernames clickable in some areas (search, quotes). kind of ugly, considering the concept
-checkbox doesn't stay checked, doesn't inherit property when editing
-possible mystery sql error, should be fixed though
-"Anonymous 0" in last post in search topicrow

I feel this is now somewhat usable. Will upgrade to beta or further once the template workaround is taken care of.

EDIT:

Minor update 0.3.7

-checkbox stays checked if post is anonymous
-finally fixes poster_id not being put into db when editing, 4 editing postmodes huh
-mystery sql error likely doesn't exist

[Toxyy]

Major update 0.5.0 (0.4.0 skipped)

0.4.0 notes:
-notification fix is in dev
-anonymous profile link no longer clickable in quotes
-no longer clickable in the search postrow where it says "by {author}"
-white space removed
-some reorganization

0.5.0 notes:
-Alpha --> Beta
-notifications work, if youve posted anonymously youll get them for quotes and stuff. should work properly in most cases. is_anonymous_list index matching is questionable in edge cases
-no more template editing!!! contact information removed without needing to modify the template as in OP
-some cleanup

OP has been updated and the template hack removed as it is no longer necessary. A PR has been made to accommodate as well. All styles should be supported now, as far as I know.

I'd say this is a lot more usable than the alpha was and is more versatile per style you have installed, so I've changed this to beta.

Todo:
-some approving post bug
-recheck everything
-optimize queries, especially how get_poster_index is used...
-caching???

EDIT: minor update 0.5.1
-support added for the Normal and Special Ranks extension, removes those ranks properly now

EDIT EDIT:

major update 0.6.1 - optimization time (much safer to use now)
-if running previous versions, this will populate your new mysql db posts table column automatically
-optimization!!! much safer to use now
--language for anonymous called as little as possible
--same for is_staff function
--anonymous index is now a column in the posts table, so this variable is moved into existing sql queries now
-removed useless event
-potentially useless other event commented out but not disabled
-friend and foe status no longer influences anonymous posts
-new edit bug fixed
-(native search only) no longer able to search by author and see their anonymous posts
--helper function made and ready to test the other 2 (sphinx has no event that i need, and who uses it anyways?)
-(cant remember if i logged this or not), but box no longer stays checked if quoting an anonymous post
-useless migration files removed for future people
-migration files fixed (thank you david63)
-since everything got optimized, minor fixes is an understatement. thanks xdebug and qcachegrind!
-two tiny other bugs fixed after everything got jumbled around

update 0.7.0
-notifications support language files now
-edit was changing anonymous index in weird circumstances
-minor bug fixes here and there
-mysql and postgres SHOULD be supported for author search exclusion but they are untested
-martti's group extension isn't required anymore (sorry!)
--anp_install.php removed from tr and en because of that

update 0.7.5
-recent topics extension support added
-editing posts no longer messes with index....again
-made two global variables for easier access

todo:
-approved posts bug
-anything else that pops up

major update 0.8.0
-code overhaul
--generic functions made to standardize everything, makes it easier to add/remove features in the future
--code cleaned up. only thing left to contemplate is the use of queries, caching, and if i can get the info i need in other queries instead of my own
--php 7.2 compatible
